Survey: Oncologists Expect To Prescribe Onureg in AML
With the FDA’s approval last month of Onureg (azacitidine), people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) now have an oral version of a longtime injectable treatment within that class. Zitter Insights found that more than half of oncologists polled are likely to prescribe the drug as a maintenance treatment for the condition.
On Sept. 1, the FDA approved Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. unit Celgene Corp.’s Onureg, a tablet, for the continued treatment of adults with AML who achieved first complete remission or CR with incomplete blood count recovery following intensive induction chemotherapy and who are not able to complete intensive curative therapy (RSP 9/20, p. 8).
